The mosaic depicts a group of people, likely farmers and possibly a doctor or administrator, in front of a background of wheat stalks and agricultural machinery. The central figure is a man in a white lab coat, wearing medals, who appears to be addressing the group. To his left are two women and a man, all wearing traditional headscarves and simple clothing, with one woman holding wheat stalks. To the right of the man in the lab coat is another woman in a headscarf and a child who is holding what appears to be a radio or similar device. In the foreground, there is a basket of produce. This mosaic is located in the vestibule of the Prospekt Vernadskogo station on the Moscow Metro. The station opened in 1963 and its design, including this mosaic, is characteristic of Soviet-era public art, often depicting themes of labor, progress, and unity. The inscription below the mosaic, which is partially visible, reads in Russian: "ДРУЖБА РУССКИХ И УКРАИНСКИХ КОЛХОЗНИКОВ" which translates to "Friendship of Russian and Ukrainian collective farmers".
